Oh, right
been years since ive read them
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I mean yeah the show is trash but the books still have a hint of good content imo
Not trying to soy up the place. Just thought it was a good response to the above tweet.
@Kingfish True.
While my main manz Stannis lives, I will keep sending him my soybucks
Stannis Baratheon would have a GAB account
Stan the Man. Check out HBO's "John Adams." Stephen Dillane (stannis) Plays Jefferson
They're strangely similar. Broody sperg geniuses.
I have it on DVD
really good series
GRRM doesn't have to work for a living anymore, he's been writing short novels and going to conventions. He hates the main storyline now. Best case scenario is like LOTR where he gives his unedited work to someone competent when he dies to give us a good ending
Wheel of Time would have been great if it was shorter
I think he's got manuscripts done but realized that in his sick (and incredibly entertaining) process of subverting the European heroic story, he wrote himself into a knot he can't untie
@Patrick True. He grew up poor and nerdy in Bayonne, NJ. Had shit luck with feminist GFs, labored in obscurity writing sci-fi for his life. Now he's a wealthy celebrity. It's sad, and I don't approve him letting another man (((HBO))) raise his child (he has no real children), but one can understand how it happens.
@Kingfish The Poz Button episode on GoT is really good. They mention Stannis being the closest thing to an Indo-European king hero.
Yeah I've listened to it
really well thought out episode
Stannis is the only character who (in the books) embodies the tropes of heroism and duty
by doing what they did in the show they sabotaged him.
Eh honestly I suppose, but he's more like the guy who was special from the start
true. He's a 'secret chosen one'
I'd argue he's also in the television series submitted himself as a hero to who the Showrunners see as their hero
Yeah. Daenerys is not *my* hero, that's for sure.
She's a bit of a dumb thot
yeah certainly. She's a weak character in the books, and a terrible show character.
I for one, am proudly full GoT bugman. I just went to the live concert, sat in the front row, and met the damn composer. And yep, my vote was always for Stannis, the One True King.
I wonder if the dissident Right / pro-whites are usually pro-Stannis... 🤔
It seems so
Probably so - he's all for order and discipline.
The Methnostate crowd maybe likes Euron. I wouldn't bother asking.
Haha
@Madbent I'm out of the loop a few seasons but the fire god seems pretty Abrahamic
Or whatever the red colored god Stannis serves is
@Logan Zorastrian, I'd say.
The Faith of the Seven is the faux-Catholicism.
@Logan The 'Lord of Light' vs the unnamed dark god is the closest that universe has to an Abrahamic religion.

@Matthias Yeah, Patriot Peer's gonna be YUGE. Can't help but think that it's gonna be a strong avenue for recruitment...
